I've lived in the Boulder area for about 45 years. I'm a former elementary school teacher for 34 years (teaching my full career at Mesa Elementary). Since retiring I enjoy volunteering with a number of organizations, traveling with my husband, reading, and just hanging out.

I've chosen to be involved with the BCH Ambassadors because I enjoy working with others and seeing positive outcomes related to that work.

While raising my two daughters in Boulder, I volunteered at their schools in various capacities including PTO president at the middle school and high school level.
Once my husband and I became empty nesters, I wanted to get back into volunteering at BCH. I began by assisting with the registration needs for the annual BCH Fashion Show. This then led to my committing to be on the Scholarship committee. I have been part of this committee for the past 10 years and have enjoyed all aspects of BCHA.

As a Boulder native, volunteering and BCH have been a large part of my life. I was born at BCH, started my volunteer journey at BCH as a Candy Striper while in junior high, and then again with the PT dept. while in college at CU.

I was born, raised and educated in Ohio, primarily living and working in the Cleveland area. I moved to San Jose California in 2007 then retired to Colorado in 2014. I worked for 47 years as a Registered Nurse with the last 25 years spent in various roles in hospital and nursing administration. During my working years, I obtained several college degrees and professional certifications but I also volunteered on non-profit agency boards, serving meals for families in need, Girl Scouts, and many other organizations.

I missed the constant activity of a hospital after retirement and began service volunteer work at BCH in October 2014. I was honored that I was encouraged to join the Leadership Council of the BCH Ambassadors and look forward to any opportunity to be of service.

I grew up in Fort Lauderdale, but I have always considered Boulder to be my home. I lived here during the 1980's and 1990's working for several higher education organizations. Following my retirement in 2014, I moved back to Boulder. I wanted to volunteer in the BCH Foothills Gift Shop since I had owned and operated a small women's clothing boutique for a few years. After a few months, I was asked to help with the Gift Shop management and to join the BCHA Leadership team. I am excited to be a part of an amazing organization and to work with hard-working and energetic volunteers!

After I retired, I wanted to volunteer in the community since I now had the time. A friend asked me to help with decorations at the BCHA 2015 Holiday Extravaganza, and I knew immediately I had found my volunteer home. The energy and support of the volunteers is amazing and BCHA supports causes I embrace. I feel fortunate to have found the BCH Ambassadors!

I have been married over 30 years and raised two boys. I have worked at the hospital for over 11 years, the first 8 years were spent I Human Resources. I have been the Volunteer Coordinator since 2009.

I support BCH’s Ambassadors because of all the good they do for both the hospital and the community.
